PURSUANT TO THE COOK COUNTY REAL PROPERTY CLASSIFICATION

WHEREAS, the Village of Elk Grove Village desires to promote the development of

WHEREAS, the Cook County Assessor is operating under an ordinance enacted by the

industrial and commercial development in Cook County known as the Cook County Real
Property Classification Ordinance; and
WHEREAS, in the case of abandoned property, if the municipality or the Mayor and Board

finding, along with the specification of the circumstances, shall be included in the resolution or
ordinance supporting and consenting to the Class 6B application. Such resolution or ordinance
shall be filed with the eligibility application. If the ordinance or resolution is that of a
municipality, the approval of the Board of Commissioners of Cook County is required to validate

Exhibit "A"
Special Circumstances
Since the subject property has not been 100% vacant and unused for 24 months or more
as of the Contract Closing Date (estimated), in order to qualify for a class 6b, it would
need to fall under the special circumstances. The subject property has special
circumstances, which have made it difficult to sell and/or lease, such as the fact that the
16 -foot ceiling height, is considered low for today's industrial/warehouse users.
Additionally, the subject is 48 -years old and very little maintenance/remodeling has been
done on this building, making it less desirable to many buyers looking for a newer
building with higher ceilings and a more modem layout. Additionally, there is limited
parking at this property. Lastly, the subject lacks rear access, which has and will
continue to diminish the marketability of the subject property to any potential
tenants/buyers.
Please note that the current owner(s) of the property moved his business, Savage
Brothers, into another building on or before November 31, 2015 because the subject's
building was not big enough for its business and the subject's ceiling height is too low.
Savage Brothers moved to 1825 Greenleaf, Elk Grove Village, IL because that building
has 16 feet to 22 feet ceiling heights and a larger warehouse. Please also note that the
property located at 1825 Greenleaf, Elk Grove Village, IL was recently granted a Class
6b by the Village Board.
